Cynthia B Lloyd

Senior Associate

Cynthia B. Lloyd is a consulting senior associate with the Poverty, Gender, and Youth program at the Population Council. At her retirement from the Council in May 2009 she was a senior associate and served on the National Research Council’s Committee on Population. She was chair of the National Academy of Sciences Panel on Transitions to Adulthood in Developing Countries and editor of the panel's 2005 report, Growing Up Global: The Changing Transitions to Adulthood in Developing Countries. Prior to her work at the Population Council, she was chief of the fertility and family planning studies section at the United Nations Population Division and an assistant professor of economics, Barnard College, Columbia University.

Her fields of expertise include transitions to adulthood, children's schooling, gender and population issues, and household and family demography in developing countries. Lloyd has worked on these issues extensively in Ghana, Egypt, Kenya, Pakistan, and other developing countries as well as comparatively. Her recent research has concentrated on school quality in developing countries and the relationship between school quality, school attendance, and transitions to adulthood. She has M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in economics from Columbia University.
